Steven Schroeder | six stops south
Violin leaps through intervals
between trains at Washington,
a single burst of Mendelssohn
for passengers hurrying south
past Chinatown to catch an
eastbound bus at Garfield,
and I think Adorno may
have to be rewritten.
The whole
concerto is contained
in the short silence between
trains, though the last note
does not sound until it has been
shattered a dozen times and
the train has carried its hearer
six stops south.
